"Post adaptive card and wait for a response" has different inputs options when directly creating inside copilot studio as a tool

Question

HI Team,

I am creating a topic inside copilot studio and trying to add "Post adaptive card and wait for a response" but the input options shows "recipient" and not able to figure what should we put there or in what format. I have tried putting my emailids, tried putting channelid, Group id, nothing works.

I have tested the "Post card to chat or channel" and its working fine, and it doesnt have recipient input. It automatically gives the drop down to select the channel or group chat.

I want to use "Post adaptive card and wait for a response". Kindly let me know what needs to be put in "recipient" and in which format ?

Hi Abhishek,

The "Post adaptive card and wait for a response" action is now deprecated for Microsoft Teams, which is why the Recipient field does not work with email, channel ID, or group ID.

Why it fails: This action only supports 1:1 chat with a Teams User ID. It does not work for channels or group chats. Microsoft has deprecated it for new use cases.

If you still want to use it: You must provide the user’s Azure AD Object ID (GUID) in the Recipient field.

Example:

b2c51cd9-05ff-4d32-9e6e-92c2b23a8a47

Find it in: Entra ID → Users → Select User → Object ID

Recommended Updated Approach (Supported): Use this pattern in Copilot Studio:

Use Post card to chat or channel to send the Adaptive Card.

Capture user response using either: • Bot message with action buttons • Power Automate with a “wait for response” flow

This is the stable and supported method for Teams.
